Hi everyone,
I live in NSW Australia, I started drumming when I was about 15 & in the early 70's at age 18 purchased a Pearl Wood Fiberglass kit which I still have, it has the COB snare with a Gladstone through off. I used this throughout the 70's playing in cover bands.
I stopped playing when I was in my early 20's, lost interest & started riding Harley's (I still do) & generally just partied on, got married etc.
My interest in play again has been on my mind for some time, so I pulled out the Pearls started again, I was shocked at how bad I was & the condition of the kit, so practiced a lot & then decided to get a new kit. I went for the new PDP Concept Maple which I love, except for the kick pedal, so back to the shop & came out with a DW 5000.
So now I'm joining the local Blues Society & catching up on all the new terms used these days. I still have my 60's & 70's Zildjian's & Ufip Ritmo Hi-Hats.
Looking forward to talking to you all,,,,Alan
